There are two Index Frontier contracts to choose from: the Index Frontier 5 and the Index Frontier 7. The Index Frontier 5 has a 5-year early withdrawal charge schedule, and the Index Frontier 7 has a 7-year early withdrawal charge schedule. During those first 5 or 7 contract years, depending on which contract you choose, an early withdrawal charge is applied to surrenders and withdrawals that exceed the 10% penalty-free amount. The amount of an early withdrawal charge is determined according to the schedule below, and is based on the contract year in which the withdrawal is made.

While the Index Frontier 7 has a longer early withdrawal charge period than the Index Frontier 5, it also has higher caps, meaning greater earning potential.
See your prospectus for information about exceptions that may allow you to take a withdrawal without an early withdrawal charge.
